One of Pete Seeger’s final undertakings was to ensure that his adopted home of Beacon would commemorate Dr. King’s legacy annually in a meaningful and participatory way, with a “singing parade” on the holiday itself.
Reverend G. Modele Clarke of Kingston’s New Progressive Baptist Church, activists and performers will convene at the Woodstock Justice Court on Sunday afternoon to present a program centered on the theme of “What Would King Say?”
